00:00We think this government has lost control of public spending.

00:03They've made decisions that we would not have made.

00:05For example, they're allowing welfare payments to get higher and higher.

00:08They attempted some very small reforms a few weeks ago,

00:12but their own backbenchers stopped them because Keir Starmer is so weak.

00:16They're spending billions on Ed Miliband's various mad green plans,

00:20and they're allowing public sector pay rises to shoot well ahead of inflation.

00:25All of that is costing a huge amount of money

00:27and is driving these tax increases

00:30because of the choices that Rachel Reeves and Keir Starmer

00:33and the Labour government have made.
